tips for im716

[keanej6]

hi, i just received some im716s and i need some new tips. what tips are compatible with them.

Aside from Ety triflanges and foamies, the only other tip I have been able to get on the IM716 are the Shure softflex tips, and that took a little effort.

Be prepared for a good wait if you order new tips and filters from Altec Lansing. It took my order about 2 1/2 weeks to get to me, unless they have gotten better about that sort of thing in the past 4 months.

ya i stole my brother's softflex tips. cool so if i order etymotic flanges and foamies they'll work? thanks mwallace.

I just checked a few threads and the shure softflex seems to be favored over triflanges (in those threads at least). I am not 100% sure the Ety tips will fit the IM716, as the barrels are slightly different, but they should be close enough. I'm too tired to search any further tonight. Good luck with whatever you choose to use.

I like the soft flexes a lot more than triflanges because they offer much better comfort. If I were to get some more tips, I'd get the new Shure black foamies

The Soft Flex is my favorite tip, bar none.

Are Shure softflexies like the foamies that came with iM716 phones? Cuz those are the only ones that have been comfortable in my ears and make a good seal. Or does anyone know where to get original AL foamies from Europe?

They're far more comfortable than the foamies. The soft flexes are basically a single soft silicone flange, shaped like a.. err.. umm.. I don't know how to put it without being a tiny bit obscene.

X2... I use the smalls when I would normally take a medium sized foamie
